About Me

My photo
I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

HOME AGAIN, AND IT'S POURING RAIN.

I left our lovely scrapbook haven at 3:00 this afternoon, so I was home shortly after 4:00, and on the way home I got a call from my daughter reminding me that today is my husband's and my 45th wedding anniversary.  I had totally lost track of what day it was up there in the mountains!  But I had time to stop at Walgreens and get a card and some "goodies" for us to munch on before I got home.  45 years - that's a pretty good feat!  We celebrated by going out for dinner, which was necessary, because there was nothing at home to fix for dinner.  LOL!  It's been a great ride, and I have a terrific husband.  He puts up with my crafting and the mess it makes, as well as my many pets through the years.

Right now I'm watching the Golden Globes, and I was so glad that Ann Hathaway won for best supporting actress in  "Les Miserables".  It's good to be home in my own bed listening to the rain pouring down.

YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!

Today, while my husband was watching the multitudes of bowl games that were on TV, I went to see "Les Miserables", the new movie that opened Christmas Day.  As I have mentioned in a previous post, "Les Mis" is my favorite musical play of all times, and this movie does not disappoint either!  I know I will be going back to see it again soon, because there are always so many things you miss in a motion picture that is nearly 3 hours long.  It is very true to the original play, and Colm Wilkinson, the original Jean Valjean, portrays the priest who saves Hugh Jackman (Valjean in the movie) when he steals silverware from the church.  I thought that was a very nice tribute to the man who made the role famous.  Anyway, even if your husband or boyfriend refuses to go to a musical, go yourself, or, better yet, go with a girlfriend or two.  Then you can cry together.  Ann Hathaway is wonderful as Fontine, and I think she'll probably get at least an Academy Award Nomination.  Ahhhhh, there's nothing I like better than a great movie that touches my very soul, and this one did.
